Part 5/8:
As we venture to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, known for its joyous atmosphere and thrilling rides, we can't help but recall the various scenes filmed here. Though we arrived off-season and many attractions are closed, elements like the Loof Carousel remain. This striking carousel plays a vital role in the movie and continues to be an observational spot for fans looking to relive those heart-pounding moments.
The Boardwalk acted as the playground for many pivotal scenes in The Lost Boys. The dark ride and the haunting presence of the Giant Dipper roller coaster echo the thrills and chills the film offered. Despite not being able to ride, peering through the windows transports us back to the mid-80s cinematic charm we long for.
